    I really want to use this plugin. But I was getting the dreaded 401 OAUTH error yesterday.

    After hours of searching, I found there's a 1.8.3. version that I thought would fix the problem. But it still fails today.

    I really would appreciate some help. This could be a great plugin if I could get it to work.

    Thanks, Linda

    Solved! I fixed the oauth problem finally. Here's what happened:
    After installing the 1.8.3 version which was supposed to fix the problem, the error was not corrected. Here is what I then tried, which finally fixed the problem:

    1. Install the 1.8.3 fix

    2. Go back into the Tweet This-->Automatic Tweeting

    3. Click the link that says "click here" to get back into https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new

    4. Find the application and delete it (write down the settings)

    5. Re-create the application

    6. Get the new token keys and fill them in on the Tweet This settings. Be sure to choose the Access Type of read & write

    I hope this is a solution for others as well.
